THESE FIVE EXAMPLES, picked by Business Insider as the best of last night’s offerings, might give some insight into why Americans can’t get enough of the ads played during the Super Bowl commercial breaks.
The big brands often don’t worry about highlighting what their product is, what it does or why you need it in your life. Instead, they want to make entertaining ads that people will be talking about the day after the major NFL event.
As entertainment was, eh, lacking in the actual football, the ad teams really had to bring it. (Especially as companies forked out an average of $4 million per 30-second slot).
What do you think? Do you agree with this Top Five?
